Chapter 428: Chapter 428 They Simply Don’t Take the Bait Chapter 428: Chapter 428 They Simply Don’t Take the Bait On the other side, Luo Tianming and Feng Hui were directly taken to the hospital, but after a long examination, the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong. After questioning, the doctor said it was possible that they hadn’t rested well lately, coupled with frustration, which could lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness, and falling.
They were advised to go ho and rest well, but both of them were so weak they couldn’t walk, so they had to be helped to sit on the bench in the corridor outside.
Originally, they had planned to visit Luo Qiao again in the afternoon, but unfortunately, their physical condition did not permit it. If they hadn’t run into soone they knew at the hospital, they might have had to sit in the hospital corridor until nightfall.
After school in the afternoon, Luo Qiao went straight to the area near the guesthouse where Xiao Jingyu was staying. There was a state-run restaurant nearby, and Luo Qiao arrived early. Xiao Jingyu also arrived at the agreed ti.
The two ordered three main dishes and so rice and then slowly began to chat.
Luo Qiao asked, “Is everything going smoothly?”
Xiao Jingyu replied, “It’s been fairly smooth, we’ve used so connections, and the middleman is pretty reliable.”
As they talked about the restaurant business and were nearly done with their al, Luo Qiao asked, “What if I say I want to invest a share in it, would you be willing?”
Xiao Jingyu was surprised by Luo Qiao’s idea and hesitated for a mont, “You want to invest a share?”
Luo Qiao smiled and nodded, “Yes, I have so money on hand, it’s just sitting there anyway. If you’re willing, I can invest so. Of course, I only want dividends and don’t want to be involved in managent. However, I could offer so advice.”
Xiao Jingyu beca sowhat excited, “To be honest, I need to discuss this with my partner. But indeed, we’ve been considering bringing in more partners because the property we’re interested in is better to buy. However, if we do buy it, we won’t have much working capital left for the renovations, kitchen is a big expense, and we need to have so liquidity after opening.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Alright then, I’ll wait for your news.”
The next day, after a full day of classes at school and recognizing all the substitute teachers, in the afternoon after school, she found her horoom teacher, Teacher Ge, “Teacher Ge, can I continue like last sester, not coming to classes in between and only showing up for the exams?”
After pondering for a mont, Teacher Ge said, “You need to ensure your ranks within the top three of the whole grade. Otherwise, if everyone follows your example, it’ll turn the school into a ss.”
Luo Qiao quickly assured, “Don’t worry, Teacher Ge, I will work hard. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll summarize it and co to you for answers.”
After leaving Teacher Ge, snow began to fall outside. At the school gate, she unexpectedly ran into Zhang Xiao. To be honest, Luo Qiao was becoming a bit annoyed by Zhang Xiao.
If it weren’t for her at noon today, Luo Tianming and Feng Hui wouldn’t have recognized her, and seeing her carrying a net bag made her feel even worse. What was she planning?
Please forgive her bias, but she really didn’t like her mother’s approach. No matter the intention, Luo Qiao did not approve of her thods.
Zhang Xiao ran over, “Luo Qiao, can I co and see your house?”
Luo Qiao imdiately beca wary, “I’m sorry, but I have to run so errands, so it’s not convenient today.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao’s face showed disappointnt, but Luo Qiao couldn’t be bothered with that right now. She instinctively didn’t want Zhang Xiao going over to her place, feeling that if Zhang Xiao knew where she lived, it would surely bring trouble later.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, you go first. Here, take this, it’s a little gesture from my mom.”
Luo Qiao quickly sidestepped to avoid it, “No need to be so polite, Zhang Xiao. I don’t lack anything. I just returned from Capital City yesterday, and I brought back several big bags of food. Besides, it would be inconvenient to carry these while I’m out handling matters.
Since you’re boarding at school, keep it and enjoy it yourself. When you go ho, please give my regards to your uncle and aunt. I’ll be going now.”
With that, she turned and left!
Zhang Xiao, left behind, looked at the departing Luo Qiao and then at the net bag in her hand, thinking that it seed her mom’s plans were going to fall through. The girl simply wasn’t taking the bait.
anwhile, Luo Qiao turned towards the supply and marketing coop, intending to buy more salt to prepare so durable food items for Lu Yichen to take back to Capital with him for his master and mistress.
